Chapter 1175: Tree Fruits and Scrolls (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the moment of its demise, the poison vine managed to strike back, releasing an insidious toxic lightning that struck the jagged maw of the Transformation Immortal fish beast, causing it to start rotting and forcing it to emerge from the void.

“Roar!—”

The fish beast let out a painful roar, unable to endure the excruciating pain caused by the vine’s toxin.

“Five Elements Extinction Lotus!”

Unexpectedly, just as the fish beast was about to devour the vine to regain its strength, several terrifying auras accompanied by a shout erupted from the swamp, suppressing everything around it. This made the fish beast extremely uneasy, and in its six red eyes, the reflection of Jiang Chengxuan’s figure appeared.

Before the beast could react further, Jiang Chengxuan, carrying the seven-colored Divine Lotus—red, blue, yellow, green, gold, white, and black—charged towards it.

This moment was meticulously calculated by Jiang Chengxuan. The poison-ridden fish beast couldn’t evade and had to roar in anger, summoning billions of tons of swamp water to form a massive wave to counter Jiang Chengxuan’s attack.

Under the wave’s shadow, the Divine Lotus bloomed with celestial light, spreading its power and breaking through the wave, revealing the fish beast to Jiang Chengxuan again. Immediately, the Five Elements Extinction Lotus flew out, carrying devastating power, and struck the fish beast.

The fish beast, in its final defense, swung its corroded jagged maw with full force. The collision between the lotus and the maw unleashed the full might of the Extinction Lotus: the reversal of the Five Elements, the reversal of life and death!

The ensuing destructive force expanded to its peak, shattering the void. The terrifying energy evaporated the billion-ton wave summoned by the fish beast, displaying its overwhelming might.

Jiang Chengxuan’s well-prepared lethal move unleashed such powerful shockwaves that even several giant trees were uprooted. Fortunately, the trees’ protective celestial power shielded them from the worst of the destruction. The trees, being parts of the Great Trees’ spirit, wouldn’t perish from such damage.

“Boom! Boom!”

The scene of destruction lasted for a long time before dissipating. As the energy flow subsided, the area was left with an enormous crater.

In the crater lay the fish beast, slain by Jiang Chengxuan. It hadn’t died immediately from the Extinction Lotus but fought Jiang Chengxuan for several more exchanges before reluctantly falling.

Jiang Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiling after a brief moment of rest. The fish beast’s strength exceeded his expectations.

Without the poison vine’s fierce resistance and the injection of rule-based toxins into the beast’s jagged maw, depriving it of its void-traversing ability, Jiang Chengxuan might not have been able to defeat it despite his careful planning.

After all, a Transformation Immortal capable of traversing the void was an almost unbeatable adversary. But thanks to a series of fortunate events, Jiang Chengxuan emerged victorious from this perilous battle.

“It’s a pity the vine’s remnants were destroyed by the aftermath…”

As he recovered, Jiang Chengxuan muttered to himself. However, his disappointment faded when he focused on the massive corpse of the fish beast. Clearly, the materials from the fish beast were far more precious than those from the vine.

The jagged maw capable of piercing the celestial domain’s void was among the most valuable treasures Jiang Chengxuan had encountered in the celestial domain. Carefully, he approached the maw, inspecting it closely.

Despite the toxin-induced dullness and the diminished void power, the core traits remained intact thanks to Jiang Chengxuan’s timely use of antidotes.

With appropriate materials, he could restore its void-piercing power. With that in mind, Jiang Chengxuan carefully stored the jagged maw in his storage ring. He then climbed onto the beast’s corpse, used his Gengjin Void Sword to split its head, and found the dazzling celestial light within.

Inside was the fish beast’s demon core, a gleaming, glass-like orb radiating celestial light and shrouded in a faint void aura. Overjoyed, Jiang Chengxuan collected the core and other spoils. After righting the fallen giant trees, he left for the next vine’s location.

…

Months later, deep within the swampy forest, Jiang Chengxuan used his cleansing power to neutralize the vine’s rule-based toxins. With a swing of his Gengjin Void Sword, he cut down the final vine. Poisonous rain fell one last time, marking the eradication of all the vines in the swampy forest.

This last vine possessed terrifying Ascendant Immortal-level power. With the suppression of the awakened Great Trees’ spirit, Jiang Chengxuan fought for seven days and nights before finally slaying it.

The Great Trees were finally liberated, transforming the swampy forest into a fairyland. Celestial light shone continuously, and a peaceful aura descended as if celebrating their victory.

Amidst the jubilant power of the Great Trees, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and exhaled deeply. Watching the forest undergo such a miraculous transformation filled him with immense pride.

As he basked in his accomplishment, the celestial light from the surrounding trees condensed into a human-like figure, who approached him, radiating joy. For the Great Trees’ spirit, Jiang Chengxuan was their savior, ending their millennia-long torment.

The spirit’s manifestation presented Jiang Chengxuan with a basket woven from tree roots, containing ten celestial fruits and an ancient scroll. These were the best gifts the trees could offer after being sapped of their power by the vines for thousands of years.

Touched by their gratitude, Jiang Chengxuan bowed and accepted the basket. He stored everything but the scroll, which he kept in hand. This scroll was undoubtedly the promised opportunity, likely tied to the Shui Xian Sect.

With anticipation, Jiang Chengxuan unrolled the scroll, revealing its contents. It was another map, but unlike the tree bark map, it was simple, almost like a mortal’s map, lacking any mystical aura.

Despite its simplicity, the map served its basic purpose. After careful scrutiny, Jiang Chengxuan discerned its direction, ready to uncover the secrets it held.
